After each completed thread, I, or more typically, the originator of these line by lines, CoveTom, will randomly pick someone who participated to choose the next episode we do. The lucky winner this time around was Vanyel! And Vanyel has chosen "Q Who?" as our next line-by-line adventure!

For any unfamiliar with our "game," you are asked to post only a single line (defined as one character speaking without interruption by another character) per message. You can post as often as you like, but someone else must post a line in between your posts.

As before, at the conclusion of this thread, we will pick someone at random from among all the participants to choose the next episode we do.

Gomez: Well, since it’s listed as “intelligent circuitry,” why not? After all working with so much artificial intelligence can be dehumanizing, right? So why not combat that tendency with a little simple courtesy? (The relpicator signals that it has done it tasks.) Ah. Thank you.

Gomez: Oh, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t even have this in engineering. It’s just we were talking. I forgot I had it in my hand. Ummm, I’m going to go finish it over here. Lieutenant LaForge this is not going to happen again.She turns to leave engineering and bumps into Picard and spills her hot chocolate on him.
Gomez: Oh, no! I’m sorry, oh Captain.
